Episode Description
Nearly everyone who’s enjoyed a good Cabernet (or better yet, visited the vineyard that produced it) has fantasized about going into the wine business. After all, not only is wine one of life’s great pleasures, it’s also an increasingly marketable commodity: Sales of wine in the United States increased by 2% in 2012, hitting a new all-time high of $34.6 billion, according to wine industry consultant Jon Frederikson. In fact, there are some publicly traded wine companies that have experienced a 5000% growth in stock price since 2012 alone. Join Peter Weitz. On the In Black and Weitz Radio program Tuesday August 26, 2014, as he welcomes certified Sommelier Marc Schlossberg to discuss the massive growth and popularity of this industry. In Black and Weitz Airs at 10AM eastern and 7AM Pacific on Voice America Business (www.voiceamericabusiness.com)
